MONROE — A new virtual 4-H project series is set to kick-off on February 18 in Green County! 

Discover 4-H will offer youth in grades 3-8 the opportunity to engage in hands-on activities related to each of four 4-H project areas: Foods & Nutrition, Art, Photography, and Nature Science. 

Participants will also learn some basic information about 4-H along the way. 4-H membership is NOT required to participate.

Discover 4-H will be hosted virtually via Zoom every Thursday night between February 18 and March 11. 

Youth in grades 3-5 will meet from 6-7 p.m. 

Youth in grades 6-8 will meet from 7:15-8:15 p.m. 

Members will complete activities using a combination of provided materials and common household items. 

The younger group will make microwave brownies, explore fish habitats, create recycled art (either a “t-shirt bag” or “catch-all can”), and learn photography basics. 

The middle school group will experiment with yeast to make bread, tour Gollon Bait & Fish Farm and learn about lures, paint a barn quilt, and work on intermediate photography skills. 

Can’t make it to EVERY meeting? Not to worry! Each session will be recorded, so those unable to attend live can still get the complete project series experience.

Cost is $10 per participant. This covers supplies included in the Discover 4-H kit which participating families will be responsible for picking up during specified dates and times. 

You choose the pick-up time and location during registration. Financial assistance is available if the cost is a barrier to participation.
